WARNING:
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the
default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall and
is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ
server computer can be used to attack other computers on your
network.
The gateway usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering page. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have the gateway
forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ
server.
To set up a DMZ host:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type http:/192.168.254.254.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is admin. The user name and password
are case-sensitive.
The Main page displays.
4.
Select Firewall Settings > DMZ Host.
5.
When prompted, click the Yes button to proceed.
6.
In the list, select the LAN device to share your public IP address.
7.
Click the Enable button.
A message displays notifying you that the gateway must restart.
8.
Click the OK button.
The gateway restarts and DMZ hosting is enabled.
